The Indian toy industry has become another attractive market due to its increasing demand. The increase in disposable incomes and the large population are driving demand for toys. Another attraction point is the low-cost workforce.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">India has the largest population, and its population percentage is under 14. This is pointing towards the significant consumer base for toys within India. The demand of Indian consumers is moving towards high-quality and educational toys.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Apart from toy manufacturing, the labor cost is also lower in comparison to the other country&#8217;s labor costs.
